Doctor in electrical engineering from Paris Saclay University and mechanical engineer, I have 4 years of experience in modeling and fine element numerical simulation of thermomagnetic, natural, and other convection phenomena.
I worked on cooling of power transformers with ferrofluids, a new technological solution that could improve the heat transfer in these electronic devices. The work focuses on numerical calculations by finite elements to study the impact of thermomagnetic convection on coolant flow in the transformer housing. Experimental measurements on a prototype transformer were also compared with the numerical calculations and showed a good agreement.
Passionate about research and development, I now work as a research engineer at Georgia Tech Lorraine.
